It's true. A ton of kids (in my experience working with them) don't know how to really use computers. Yeah, they've grown up around them and have smart phones etc but it's comparable to reading: they can read street signs and text messages, but they can't parse Frankenstein.

I feel that it's because a lot of people use devices to consume , rather than produce.

I'm guilty of this myself. Aside from the odd article or piano piece on my phone/tablet, they are 99% Reddit/browsing devices: all the heavy stuff is done on the pc.
"Why would I make a poster in gimp/photoshop? My laptop is for facebooking, duh"

Today? I doubt it, to be honest. 10+ years ago children experimented with these things because computers were complex and every button was potential magic. I spent hours looking around on my first Windows computer, partly because it was fascinating and partly because I didn't know what else to do.

Now, I think most of the "randomly clicking around while bored" is done inside a browser; exploring Facebook or Youtube for something mildly interesting. Maybe you'll run into something fascinating and useful, but it won't be WordArt. And that trend will become much more clear when tablets completely replace computers in some households.
